The Detective Novel That Kept Me Hooked: A Refreshingly Quirky Protagonist and Engaging Plot

summarizeEditor's Summary

I stumbled upon The Housekeeper by Nita Prose a few weeks ago, and it's been a wild ride. The story centers around Molly, a 25-year-old housekeeper at a high-end hotel who's deeply dedicated to her job. What I love about Molly is her quirky personality - she's a bit awkward in social situations, but her attention to detail makes her an exceptional housekeeper. The plot is engaging, with a mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end.
